Negative View of a Praying Mantis

This is a close up of the head of a Praying Mantis that I turned into a negative.

I have cropped around it a lot, and that is why it's quite small.

I love the colours here, especially those deep dark purple/blue eyes.

I think it is quite a beauty. What do you think?

So 'cute' it looks.
Good job you did on this beauty, Janice.
This negative turns out very possitive.
Kia ora en groeten van Jan

Hi Janice,
Straight out of a Steven Speilberg movie.
The negative look gives him a 'creature from outer space' look.
Good choice,
Pete.

Hi Janice

A superb macro of the threatening looking praying mantis, and a good entry in the negative theme. Tfs!

Is very beautiful.
Are you sure this is the negative?:)
Is so full of colors.
Great job.

This is pretty amazing!! I have never seen a praying mantis (other than pictures). I love the colors here and the framing. Very nicely done!! Have a great day!

Hi Janice,

Excellent macro, considering the difficulties of such a shot you did great! Lovely colors, good detail and DOF.
TFS,
Vassilis

Yes Janice,

I think the colours when turned negative work here - making it an even stranger looking animal close-up. Wonder what the view is through his purple eyes.....

TFS
Els

Yes ... this looks great.
I like the effect of the negative.
The eyes do look awesome.
Great stuff!
